Most of us begin our day with the aroma of coffee
brewing. This gives us that jolt to start moving around,
get the old body in gear, and heading out to whatever,
and wherever we have to during this day. Without coffee
many have withdrawal symptoms so even if home
brewed is not an option, coffee houses have sprung
up all over to compensate those who have to pick up
and run with their favorite brew.
If someone told you that there was an even better
wake-up fix that would truly get you on your way to a
marvelous day, would you buy it? What if you were told
it was absolutely free - no money is to be exchanged -
and there is as much as you could possibly want?
Would you consider it? I would bet my bottom dollar
you would, and so would everyone else.
Well, the fix that I'm talking about is ready right there
before you even put one foot onto floor, before you
throw open the curtains, and even before that one
big stretch and yawn. It is saying Good Morning to
God in just those words, simply and without decorative
platitudes and fancy printed words. It is a child waking
up to the presence of their Father and saying Good
Morning and knowing that they are in the best of hands.
You could add whatever additives you desire, such as
what you might be facing today, what you feel you need
and just don't have at the moment, and even remembering
those you love that are with you or not. It is a private
moment between Father and child. It is a precious
moment between ordinary and great. It is you communicating
with your God and knowing that he brought you through the
night and your steps will be guided throughout your day.
You are His child and you are amazing to Him.
Taking those first moments of wakefulness and giving them
to Him will make all the difference in your world, and it
does in His as well. You will just be able to feel the radiance
of His smile and the warmth of the hug that He offers you
as you pull your body out of bed and slip on those slippers.
You make Him top priority, you turned to Him before anything
or anyone else, and You acknowledged that you are His
no matter what.
Your day will be great and you will notice the difference. Give
it a try - you'll like it.
